Pirro appeared on a couple of Fox News shows and said Goldberg spat on her during their backstage back-and-forth and that she felt that she had been abused. Goldberg disputed the spitting claim and said Pirro had left out key details, including Pirro allegedly calling the panel by a nasty name as she exited the stage.

“She was nuts going off the set,” Pirro said about Goldberg on “Fox & Friends” on Friday. “When I walked down, as I started walking out of building, this woman is yelling behind me, ‘Get the f out of this building.'”

Pirro also compared Goldberg’s behavior to that of a murderer, according to the Daily Mail. “I’ve been a prosecutor, judge, DA for 30 years. I tried murder cases. I can go toe-to-toe anybody. That was abuse,” she said.

She also appeared on Sean Hannity’s show on Thursday evening.

“When I went off the stage. I’m walking downstairs and I said something like, ‘Whoopi I fought for victims my whole life,’ and she came at me as I was leaving and said, ‘F you’ in my face – literally spitting at me – ‘F you, get the F out of this building,” she told Hannity, according to Hollywood Life.

Pirro said she didn’t know what triggered Goldberg, but it was clear on the video that Goldberg took exception to Pirro pointing at Goldberg and saying she had “Trump derangement syndrome,” a term used by conservatives about liberals outraged by Trump. Pirro, a staunch supporter of Trump who hosts “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Fox News, had engaged in some lively debate up to that point with the show’s panel, which CNN commentator and Trump critic Ana Navarro.

“It was sad,” she said on “Fox & Friends.” “It was a sad moment that you know, she was triggered. I never understood triggering.”

Pirro also said she thought her interview segment on “The View” ended prematurely after Goldberg went to commercial following their on-air exchange. “Say goodbye,” Goldberg told her. “Bye. I’m done.”

Goldberg, who rarely appears on “The View” on Fridays, told the audience that Pirro’s take on the incident was incomplete.

“She seemed to leave out some key points. Because, she left a lot of pertinent stuff out,” she said.

“When I came off stage, I went over there, because I was a little hot. OK?” Goldberg also said. “So I went to calm down. She came off, she could have just passed me. She didn’t need to stop. But she stopped. And put her finger in my face. And yelled, ‘I’ve done more for victims than you ever will.'”

Goldberg seemed to confirm that she cussed out Pirro, but she denied spitting on her or trying to kick her out of the building.

“Then I said to her some choice words I cannot repeat. Yes, I did say it. I did say it,” said Goldberg. “But I did not spit on her. I did not intimidate her. No one chased her out of here, saying get out.”

Goldberg also repeated early reports that Pirro was not happy about the presence of Navarro, who was a last-minute substitute for host Joy Beyhar, and that Pirro left by cussing out staff member and the hosts themselves.

“She was upset when she got here because Ana Navarro was here instead of Joy,” said Goldberg. “After the segment, which ended when it was supposed to — it was not early, it was not late — she called everybody at the table a name I cannot repeat on TV and said it in front of the audience.”

A source told the Daily Mail that the word Pirro used was “(expletive)-suckers.”

Goldberg on Friday wished Pirro luck with her new book, “Liars, Leakers and Liberals,” which she was promoting on Thursday’s show. Goldberg also hinted that Pirro would be welcome back to the show.

“You can come to this show. We treat everybody with respect, but you cannot come and call people names. You cannot point at people,” she said.

Pirro said on “Fox & Friends” that Goldberg had not reached out to her since their argument.

“I would say to Whoopi, ‘I have always liked you, Whoopi. I don’t understand where the anger comes from. I want to have a conversation. I wasn’t allowed to have a conversation. I didn’t deserve to be thrown out. I really, we can’t treat people like that. You just can’t. We can disagree, but we need to be able to talk about it,'” Pirro said.
